Music Monday 22 November
Currently on 'heavy rotation' in the sense that I have played them quite a lot on my iPodular device on the way to work, thereby rendering the phrase completely senseless:
Old Annie Lennox
Not 'old' as in 'wrinkly' but 'old' as in 'before becoming very worthy and singing about how rubbish the world is' Annie Lennox, natch. I mean, do you have Spotify? Type in these words: Wrap It Up. Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a. Plink.
Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest
I've owned this album nearly a year and only now am I fully getting it. Whether this means it is a slow grower or that you need to be very persistent I do not know.
Duck Sauce, Barbra Streisand
BARBRA STREISAND! That is all.
Nigel Godrich, Bye and Stuff
Manages to distill into two minutes and forty-three seconds everything I love about Nigel Godrich.
Queen, The Show Must Go On
Not sure where my sudden fixation for this track has come from, but it has the benefit of making bus rides feel unnecessarily epic.

Wedding 21.08
The wedding itself was beautiful, of course, and I mean no disservice by not talking about it here. And it was amazing to see people that I haven't seen in — frighteningly — almost a decade. But the other, other thing that stood out from...
Simplicity 25.04
"It's too exciting and distracting online... There's always some button that wants you to click to cat porn. You try to read something, and it's flashing, it's telling you to go somewhere else." — Dave Eggers, in praise of print...
Inception is a film 22.01
Following my usual timelapse of being about four months behind the rest of the universe, I finally got round to watching Inception just after Christmas. You know, Inception? It's a film. You may have heard of it.The surprising thing, I thought, was how very confusing I...
Supercollider 26.04
← I didn't write about Radiohead's King of Limbs at the time of its release a couple of months ago, mainly because I didn't have much to add beyond what seemed to be the critical consensus of 'Nice, but nothing amazing'. I can't say that the...
